Schneider On My List

I've been running mid-west regional with Schneider for the past 9 months or so, I'm also a trainer for them. As far as pay goes from regional and OTR, you will make less regional due to the fact that you will be home more and will be running shorter hauls. You won't be getting huge hauls, but a lot of shorter runs. I think the average haul is ~400 miles. Since I started regional my average week is 2400 miles a week as apposed to ~3100 a week as OTR.
Let me know if you have any other questions I can try and stumble through.

I am thinkng about going with SNI. Fresh out of school and don't know what to expect. Anything you could pass on would be apprecited!

 

Hey Duke! Sounds like southeast is a little better than western... I start at .26 cpm per diem. Unfortunately I don't remember about the holiday pay. I have talked to so many companies that they have all kind of mushed together...

 

I don't know about southeast regionals miles, I'm Midwest and I average 2400 a week without working too hard for it, odiously I have my weeks where things go bad and I only get 1800 or so, but those are rare enough for me. You don't get any holiday pay, but Schneider will get you home thanksgiving and Christmas. You will get like a dozen days a year you can guarentee being home without pay for whatever reason you want, but they are not paid, then the typical week paid vacation after a year. You will be driving a Freightliner, '06-new depending on how lucky you are at first then based on how good a driver/lucky you are you'll get upgraded. It's a crap shoot for the trucks though, I've seen 3 year drivers in '06 trucks and I've seen brand new drivers put right in '11 Cascadias.
